See how he makes out in the defensive Zone in face offs well he locks up his man and he wins a faceof how about that up against Nick Dow who’s not too bad himself at the faceoff department and we’re underway here at UBS Arena at Belmont Park and talking about burying the lead

Matt Martin is the one who is actually replacing Casey cekus in the lineup he has been locked up missed the last 17 games in 18 of 19 more often than not you’re going to play harder you know cuz you’re you’re you’re a little embarrassed first shift of the night for

The Islanders Top Line barzel driving to the net with a shot of a save from lingren oh good save he was trying to go five on it was a bit of a hole there but lingren covered it up in a hurry his brother brenon plays for the New York

Rangers they played against each other the uh the other night not last game and guess who won that would be Ryan L 5-1 win for the Rangers a couple of nights ago well you think that he wasn’t licking his chops all night on that one there’s a chance for Brock Nelson to

Shoot it that one sticks up to the left arm of Chucky sideburns as they call him Charlie lingren linesman talked him for a while he had three of his players around him for a while and looks ready to go Puck is down and we’re back underway right to the net it comes and

Lingren will cover it up and we’ll do it all over again Joel Edmonson fires it off the back wall squeak to the front it’s still loose and grabbed there by Paul maray that was a simple play that got awfully complicated as soken hangs on to that one Islanders have a chance

To move ahead pass was in the skates of barelo vkin had lined him up the puck taken by McMichael and give it to Wilson Tom Wilson with a shot that sticks to ilas sokin winning some hockey games defense go tending penalty K I’ll tell you what Charlie lingren just doesn’t

Look right in that net he’s stretched out he’s been moving along must did something huh maybe pulled a pull a muscle or something Paul marray the drop ank ball to the slot holds onto it shoots and it wound up deflecting wide it’s feeling the effects of that as Paul

Horat chases down this p Here Comes Andrew Lee over the line with barzel Matt barzel opens up shoots save made it’s squeak free Lee to the front and it’s tapped wide well Lee didn’t see barzel he was wide open baluk a shot that one missed the net at 94 milph puso

Almost banked in by Horvat loose outside the crease and cleared down the ice by the capitals it’ll be icing Washington had some excellent chances but buo gets the puck and Horvat tries to bounce it in a little too tight to the goal and couldn’t cut around it Ang ball for AO

On the move again Ang ball to the net that one knocked down sandine turn stuck Their Own Zone again turn over by Nelson in front kicked out by soken it was mantha on the doorstep and that doesn’t even include it does include the playoffs you

Had 57 and 57 in the regular season 24 and 24 in the playoff yeah in case you don’t know know who I am he he he let up on him too I’ll give Alex a vkin credit that could have been worse this one sails into the chest of sokin for the

Whistle ranov on the keep in angul try to go to the front Nelson off the back boards couldn’t shoot it centers it P marry nice little drag around Wilson came to Nelson right across the crease and then keer there on the try from angal as well as he has several good

Opportunities for the for the Islanders and that was a clear by Jensen hit his own man and now the Islanders all around and Thomas hickey’s down there Thomas did you play center when you were a kid never Butch there’s more ice time on D I was always a defenseman took a few draws

But that’s it so he plays with that one for the moment sandine trying to get by him cut off by go the Hors will start ahead doson alertly jumping up on the rush giving the aors on man ranov Paso Scores what a shot from JG Paso well you know he’s got to be feeling pretty good about that plan know doce does a good job of anticipating along in his own Zone and starts the playoff he jumps up on the play watch this that goes all the way

Across to your right of your screen there’s go intercepts the pass and in the mle of screen Here Comes Dobson and he pushes all the defenseman back off and that allows Paro to let that rocket go up in the toy department so doson he may not get a point but the goal doesn’t

Happen without him back everybody off and tremendous s shot by JG you and I talked about the balance scoring goal 51 go and Romanov get the assists on the first goal of the night for the New York golanders here’s barzel looking for more barel drop thops and [Applause]

Scores two quick ones for the Islanders they have a two- nothing lead over the capitals first in 19 games for Noah doson that is such good hockey it over to to look at up the pass and the impressive thing is that barzel hasn’t look at doson that wouldn’t have happened a year

Ago Brendan he wouldn’t have thought about getting into the offense right away his BS I see him yeah he saw him a way long time ago who he knew he was getting up on a play and That Was a Rolling Puck Thomas so the sixth of the season for Noah

Dopson who played more than 20 8 minutes in the S nothing loss on Wednesday as bzo shot save rebound jammed wide by Eng now no more focused broken up by Holstrom at the line here he goes with pageo Holstrom off the skate of sandid it popped to him in front and he couldn’t

Get it to go Pou gloves it down a penalty up coming here as Holstrom tries to keep it alive hrom knocks this down you don’t see the anle should have moved it right away p was ahead of him besides that Paso’s the setup guy Brendon give

Him the puck early and then skate and look for a return but they go at it they keep working tremendous opportunity for those two guys keer just went down right away and said okay going to cover the bottom of the net here Riley keeps it alive Riley corvac Quick Pass for barzel

And there’s Lee jammed it on goal kicked Away by keer wow so they’re going outside the division for over a month and then it’s going to be a lot of Metro down the stretch down the stretch yeah you could do horse race now Bron down the stretch

They come yeah I think you could do it short pass shot from Wilson finds the glass took a hop off the St and Edmonson keeps it alive laier down for Wilson bumps off the hit from Boro stro with a chance and lunging to make the stop with

SRO time in as many games as he’s come back and what a chance from Strow halfway through the third still a two nothing lead for the Islanders Horvat over skated initially fires that pass through a firm one to Paso rebound score go three [Applause] Nothing that’s a big goal for the New York Islanders but their D Tod passes and Corvette’s going to get this Puck on the wing he’s going to show patience Waits Waits Waits and sees Pou who came off the bench good mle to the inside and

Goce why not come down the middle of the brenon the puck might come to and you talk about taking dead aim look at Horvat waiting waiting and there’s P coming to the middle of the ice and if if JG doesn’t go to the net here’s a chance for the capitals to come right

Back and it was go who help break that one up and a two-on one Pou and go pageo go [Applause] scores Julian go a couple of goals in 18 seconds quick up again by the Hors I believe that was buerer Riley but look at this pass and what a good move didn’t

Panic didn’t shoot it right away he says no I’m going to my back hand Paso hung onto it hung onto it and then right underneath the pat beautiful goal by go if you want to stay in the lineup you can do the little things or you can

Score two goals and have an assist at three-point night that’s going to keep you in as well hands off for Wilson back to stro in his skate and go got back in a good defensive position here’s Holstrom Paso headed into the Zone the puck was supposed to be dumped in it

Came to Paso scores have yourself a night fourth point tonight for JG Paso thought the bouncing Puck you can see number 10 Holstrom come back in there hangs on takes Waits and look he was going to throw it all the way in I don’t know how that ended over to Paso

But but oh man did he ever do some Dipsy goodling and you know I talk about guys when they’re when they’re playing the game and they get close to the net and they try and score Brendon there’s no thinking involved it’s all just reaction it’s an ability to score the

Goal sandine will Rim it around for OE cubel with 24 Into The Islander Zone working on Bo tw0 sokin it’s in sokin went to clear it away and it leaked through his legs and the capitals break the shut out with 17.9 on the clock stands up to try and clear this

One away and just whipped on it oh he yeah yeah exactly right he just he missed it I don’t I don’t think even obey kubel even touched it after it got to let’s just oh that hopped on him oh that my goodness freeze it right Brendon I mean that’s that’s what his

Mentality is going to be why didn’t I just freeze it that’s really incredibly bad luck though Islanders though couple of nights after a 7 nothing loss a solid response and a 5-1 win over the Washington Capitals
